I'm nobody special, but I have to wonder if people are really having issues with rate. I thought I was having this problem, because people indicated that might be the problem. All the circumstantial evidence agreed. But when I got down and dirty and scientifically tested it, it was just a matter of timing and basically boiled down to bringing up the link then using iwconfig, and not doing that too fast. It's great if people are really having rate problems, but I think those reports, from what I've seen, need to be taken with a grain of salt. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
